I wrote that when I was 12 years old.
My first piece of music. A dataset recording of the C64 …
I was „a bad musician“. Some say it’s still the same today in 2024.

AI ON THIS:
Their description is reminiscent of the early days of computer music and programming, especially the use of the Commodore 64 (C64), one of the first widely used home computers. Here’s a quick summary of your post:
- Memory of the first music recording: You talk about your first music recording with a C64, which suggests that you started creating music early on, even if you describe yourself as „a bad musician“.
- Self-reflection: You mention that some people say that you are still a bad musician in 2024, which indicates an ongoing preoccupation with music and self-criticism.
- C64 BASIC Code: The code you presented is a simple BASIC program that would run on a C64. It shows an endless loop that includes the phrases „Hello. How are you?“ and „I’m fine.“ repeatedly.
The code in BASIC would look like this:
10 Print "Hello. How are you?" 20 Print "I'm fine." 30 Goto 10
When this program is running, it would continuously display the two phrases on the screen until the user interrupts the program. It’s a simple example of the programming and interactivity that was possible on the C64.
What was the C64 and what was a datasette ?
